You have my sympathy! Mine was like this back in 2012 (sold in 2015).

It was impossible to find a new one and the trouble is that even if you find a car at a specialist breakers, most were in the same state once the bumper cover was removed. Also the rot gets to the bolt areas.

I found a passable one eventually and hammerited it to within an inch of its life.

I think you'll have to go online, find who has 480 breakers and then take your tools with you if they will let you have a look yourself? Has the Volvo breakers on the A1 near Bedford got one - Lakes ?
